Summary: Chef Todd Richards brings exuberance and imagination together with ingredients from the finest farmers, artisans and purveyors across the region to his Modern American menus at The Café, creating a new culinary experience in the South’s most vibrant city. On Devil Got His Way, Damon Fowler fulfills the tremendous potential that his acclaimed Blind Pig debut, Sugar Shack, promised. His remarkable songwriting skills and vocal expressiveness are maturing, and his instrumental voice, by turns incendiary and deeply lyrical, is even stronger. The styles and moods of the songs on Devil Got His Way run the gamut. The brooding title cut tells a sordid tale, punctuated by furious slide guitar runs. "After The Rain" is a beautiful, meditative ballad. "Tight Rope" recalls the playful tone of Leon Russell's version, without sounding derivative. From the swampy nighttime heat of "Cypress In The Pines" to the wistful, R&B feel of "You Go Your Way" to the ironically rock anthemic "American Dream", Damon has the uncanny ability to make all the flavors of American rock'n'roll uniquely his own.
